So no one else thinks the 2nd seedling looks like it's unhealthy in any way?

Thanks for the advice. I think you are correct on all 3 counts. Some seeds where buried much more than a 1/4" deep, I was watering way too much, and I think I had too bulbs, too close together that may have caused some heat issues... however I think the overwatering was the main issue. The...

Thanks for the reply!

Any other opinions at all? Thanks in advance!

No, I will be letting them veg until they are 18" or so, then I will re-plant them in 5 gallon buckets, wait 10 days, then move to flower.

I noticed they have slightly different appearances, and that is a reason I wanted to post these pics in case that was a sign of there being an issue of some sort. I also thought that since they are very different strains from different breeders that may also be the reason for the difference in...

Thank you for all the advice, I will definitely keep it all in mind! I will definitely plant them deeper and add a few extra drain holes when I transplant to 5 gallon pots (which i plan on doing 10 days or so before moving them over to 12/12 for flower). If you notice anything else that I...

Hello, This is my first grow. I am using a 400w Metal Halide in a 4'x6'x7.5' area. Temps in my grow are steadily at 80F with light on and 70F with the light off. Using 70% Fox Farms, 30% Vermiculite for soil. Not started using any nutrients yet, have the Fox Farms 3 pack which I will...

permalink As a bit of an update... the 4 seedlings that where in very bad shape did not survive. I believe they where already too far gone by the time I transplanted them. The two smallest sprouts (that sprouted last) seem to be doing great after...

As a bit of an update... the 4 seedlings that where in very bad shape did not survive. I believe they where already too far gone by the time I transplanted them. The two smallest sprouts (that sprouted last) seem to be doing great after their transplant to one gallon pots. I believe it was a...

You know, I was wondering... what about using a combination of CFL's and the 400w Metal Halide? I have several CFL bulbs with work light clamps on them, that I could attach to the side of the pots to help side lighting, and getting light to the lower leaves that normally get little light...

Curious as to how to tell when a seedling is ready for the big lights, as well as what height from the plant to start the light at... I have read a number of conflicting posts, ranging from people saying you can use a 400 Watt Metal Halide from day 1, and others say to wait 2 or 3 weeks after...

I have so more examples of abuse of power than I have seen officers willing to help someone in need of help.

Thanks for replying! I understand that the presence of ladybugs is a positive thing for a garden or grow room, but I was just concerned that it indicated the presence of potentially harmful pests in or near my plants.

Hello, I had a orange ladybug show up in the pot of one my two week old seedlings today, it's been in the pot for hours, and seems to be going to town eating something... but I don't see anything? I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog potting organic potting soil.... I have not seen a single ladybug...

I think my biggest confusion is about all the conflicting opinions of how to water seedlings. I have learned that I don't need to water nearly as much as some people recommend. I had done a considerable amount of reading and watching grow DVDs, but I did not focus enough attention on how to...

Maybe you should post because you want to help people learning, rather than to get +rep. I don't frequent these forums, and didn't even pay attention to the fact that they had a rep system. I went through the thread and gave +rep to everyone that gave advice and then didn't feel the need to act...

No, no water pooled at the bottom of the containers. The soil slightly is damp, but not soaked.

The roots where wet. It appears the water was not able to drain well and the roots where packing the soil tightly and out of room to grow in all but my smallest (and also happen to be the healthiest looking) plants. Would it make sense that if the roots ran out of room that the soil would...

So far I have had people tell me I have overwatered, underwatered, had too much light, and that the containers I am using are too small... So in summary I should: 1.) Use Jiffy Pellets for seedlings rather than seedling inserts. 2.) Put the germinated seeds (root pointing up) into the jiffy...
